Four Yu Yu Hakusho drabbles

For yyh100's truth challenge:

Title: Immortality
Author: darlingfox
Theme: Truth
Characters: Koenma
Rating: G
Summary: They don't last.

The truth is that Koenma is lonely, even though he’s surrounded by numerous employees. Sometimes you can barely see him sitting behind his large table, talking to an oni or other and leafing through his papers. At days, there are always distractions.

But at nights when he stands alone on his balcony and watches the clouds, he can feel it. Every day he sees files of ended lives and realises how short they are. Koenma himself is immortal and can’t afford to become attached to mortals. They don’t last.

He is lonely, and will be for a long, long time.


Title: Pretty As A Picture
Author: darlingfox
Theme: Truth
Characters: Shiori, Kurama
Rating: G
Summary: Who is he?

I watch him and wonder who he is. Certainly not my flesh and blood.

Oh, I’ve known it since he was born. No member of my or my late husband’s family has that fiery red hair or green eyes. No one has his features, almost too delicate and beautiful for a boy, or his lean body. He looks fragile and weak, long hair only emphasizing that, but in this case looks are deceiving. Only fifteen but stronger and faster than men ten years his senior.

I don’t know who – or what - he is.

Perhaps, someday, he will tell me.


Title: And The Truth Shall Make You Fly
Author: darlingfox
Theme: Truth
Characters: Botan, Hiei, Yukina
Rating: G
Summary: It just happened!

If Hiei’s hands weren’t full, Botan is sure she’d be dead. Well, maybe not. Anyway, the point was that she honestly hadn’t meant to let it slip. It had just happened. One moment Yukina wondered the colour of her brother’s eyes, the next the red eyes in question glared daggers at Botan.

Not that he had any reason, really, with Yukina crying and laughing like that. Botan wonders vaguely how long Hiei can live without breathing. Yukina’s grip looks awfully tight. Well, as long as Hiei is busy, she is safe. Doesn’t mean she will land any time soon, though.


Title: A Very Important Thing
Author: darlingfox
Theme: Truth
Characters: Kurama, Hiei
Rating: PG, for implied sex
Warnings: Hiei/Kurama
Summary: "Excuse me?"

"What now?"

"Hello to you too, Hiei."

"Hn. This better be important, Kurama. I have other things to do."

"No, you don’t. You were sleeping and were probably planning to do that all day."

"Like I said, other things to do."

"Fine. I do have something to tell you. A very, very important thing."

"Well?"

"Hiei... I’m pregnant."

"Excuse me?"

"I’m pregnant. You know, having a baby. The usual outcome of large amounts of regular sex."

"You. Baby. Me?"

"Yes, the child is yours."

"..."

"Hiei? Wake up, Hiei! It was a joke! Yusuke bet me to do it!"
